"It's a farm-to-fork event, so all the ingredients will be coming from sustainable, local, organic farms around Baton Rouge," said Slow Food Baton Rouge representative Robert Munson, noting that Indie Plate is providing all the chefs' ingredients. Beer will come via the Gnarly Barley brewery.

The event is a fundraiser for the organization, which has a number of initiatives around the city, all with the goal of creating an environment of healthy, locally-sourced and fairly-obtained food in Baton Rouge. One program involves teaching students at two area schools how to grow and cook their own produce.
